    There's inches of snow at the 'Ring today! Check out the webcam. Who's still camping? Cheers, Andy

    Well, that weather forecast isn't accurate for the 'Ring. It's sleeting there now. The track is open, and there's no cones on the straight Cheers, Andy

    There's a few of us in the hotel. I'll bring my 230V inverter too, which is man enough for camera batteries. I'll also bring a few on-board clips, and probably a few of the old 'Ring races. I think I have the 1956 GP around somewhere.... Cheers, Andy

    Look how sunny and empty it is. Yearn...... I know! There's a base model Audi A4 estate at the gate now. There was a Porsche Cayman S in bright yellow earlier. I've been looking for an RSS feed, or something I can use to show a 'Ring calendar on the desktop too. It'd be nice to show there's a tourist day (like today), and a webcam image below.... Cheers, Andy

    I've got the webcam from the entrance on my desktop. If you want to do the same, save this HTML file to your desktop. Right-click on your desktop and click Properties. Select the Desktop tab, and click Customize Desktop. Select the Web tab, and click the New button. Click the Browse button and select the HTML file you saved. Click OK until you're back at the desktop, and move it where you want it. You can go back to the Web tab on the second box to lock the page where you put it. It should refresh the image every 600 seconds. You cna manually refresh by using right-click then Refresh

    Oh' date=' I hate it. If pushed I'd say this one http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=50.374489&lon=6.967492&z=17.8&r=0&src=ggl as it has a blind exit but is flat out in the dry. In fact I'm not particularly keen on any the corners, they scare the b'jesus out of me. :S Can't wait :-d [/quote'] This is my favourite corner. I love the way the left hander tightens. Reasonable runoff too! My second choice would be this one. Having said that, there's so many great corners, it's difficult to pick one. The important thing is that the 'Ring is better than the sum of its parts.

    Seconded. A lap in the Porsche is worth every penny' date=' and a few quid more! Better than any rollercoaster Cheers, Andy [/quote'] I'll be doing my best to match the porshe boys this easter 8-) Knowing your driving, he'll probably move out the way pretty quickly. |-) Cheers, Andy

    Request application received... Pending approval!!!! :-p I think the phrase you were looking for was "join the queue" :-p BTW' date=' fancy a passenger lap in the Focus? Some people say is a little scary. Dunno why.Cheers, Andy

    But to be the fastest you need a Vectra!!!!! Pah! I eat Vectras for breakfast. Turbocharged engine, 7 speed gearbox, and the improved aerodynamics make it a great track car. Or to put it another way, it's a 1.6 diesel with an automatic gearbox and an estate body. Either way, it's got a Nurburgring sticker on the bootlid, which must give me an extra 30bhp at least. Cheers, Andy

    You ain't seen me, right? Cheers, Andy

    Touche! I'll see you in your motor then. Of course, you'll have to prove how strong your stomach is by passengering in my Focus. Warren will vouch for . I'm aiming for the unofficial record of "Fastest Company Car"!Cheers, Andy

    Your new copilot getting two rides, is he? |-) Can I call shotgun for one of your laps? I'm bringing my Ebay-purchased camcorder with the stickypod this year, so should be able to get some good shots provided we can hide it going through the barrier. Whole lap on video. :-d Cheers, Andy

    I think Andy and Missus are hotelling is well. Yeah, my missus, my best man, and I are all staying there. We *could* camp, but I'd quite like to dump our skis, boards, and stuff in the hotel room to get a little more performance on track. (6) Cheers, Andy

    I think that was an unrestricted autobahn. It was the fastest I'd ever been in a car ... until I took a ride in the GT3 RS. 165mph to beat.... 8o| Cheers, Andy

    Could we not meet you at the same place as last time? Probably makes sense. You're going to have to keep your speed down this time. That 140 we did last time is a little out of reach of my 1600cc diesel. :-| Cheers, Andy
